Sin Is Parody and Other Principles

November 14, 2022 • Jay Thomas, Matt Gilleskie

How does Satan parody marriage through contemporary practices of dating and sexuality? How does he parody joy through the false promises of money, ecstatic experiences, and debauchery? The Evil One works through various aspects of our culture to enslave us and keep us from the good of God's design. Thanks be to God, who has delivered us from the dominion of sin through Christ. Now that we are free, how do we identify the distortions of the Evil One? Jay and Matt discuss the practical payoff of these questions in this episode.
